Real tennis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search It has been suggested that Jeu de paume be merged into this article or section. ( Discuss Jeu de paume in the 17th century. Real tennis is the original racquet sport from which the modern game of lawn tennis, or tennis , is descended. It is also known as jeu de paume in France , "court tennis" in the United States , and "royal tennis" in Australia. The term "real" may be a corruption of "royal" and related to the game's connection with royalty during its heyday in England and France in the and 17th centuries . Others believe that "real" was first used at the end of the century as a retronym to distinguish it from the then recently invented game of lawn tennis. Real tennis players often just call the game "tennis", describing the modern game as "lawn tennis". Real tennis is still played by enthusiasts on about 35 existing courts in the United Kingdom Australia , the United States , and France . The sport is supported and governed by organizations around the world Contents History Manner of play Real tennis in literature Real tennis in film ... edit History The term "tennis" derives from the French word tenez

Home The Online Guide to Traditional Games Board Games Tennis Lawn Games Pub Games Game Index Table Games ... About The origin of Tennis, like so many Sports and Games is something of a mystery with various theories having been espoused. One version would have us believe that Stone Age man once hit rocks backwards and forwards with clubs, perhaps. A more substantial beginning is that Tennis derived from Handball, a version of which was played in the ancient world including the civilisations of Rome, Greece and Egypt. There is an Egyptian town on the Nile called Tinnis (in Arabic) and some speculate that this is the origin of the name 'Tennis'. Another string to this theory's bow is that the term 'racquet' is thought to derive from the Arabic word 'rahat' which means 'the palm of the hand' By the 14th century, Tennis had found its way to England where both Henry VII and Henry VIII apparently became keen players and instigated the building of courts up and down the country. Apparently Henry VIII invented the 'service' - his servants used to throw the ball up in the air for him because he was too fat to do it himself. The Tennis racket by 1500 was no longer completely made of wood but consisted of a wooden handle with a sheep gut strung head. The Royal enthusiasm for the game continued both in France during the sixteenth century where there were apparently more than 1000 courts in Paris alone at that time and in England during the Tudor seventeenth century. Notable English royal players include George IV (1763-1830), Prince Albert (1819-1861) who owned a locker in the changing room at Hampton Court Palace which still bears his name, Edward VII (1842-1910) and George V (1866-1936). For unknown reasons, the game's popularity waned in France and England during the 17th century and in France it was virtually non-existent by 1800.

Home About Us The Dublin Court The Irish Real Tennis Championships ... Contact Us The Game of Real Tennis [The following information is taken from the Cambridge Real Tennis web page , used by permission.] Interior of Cambridge University court Real Tennis is king of all racquet sports, a game where subtlety and thought are more prized than power and fitness. It is played in an asymmetrical court which contains many unusual features, sloping roofs, openings (galleries) in the walls and a main wall which has a kink in it (tambour) so the ball on hitting the sloping face moves across the court instead of continuing down the line of the main wall. It has the classic elements of warfare where a failed attack is punished by a counter-attack. The game is played with racquets made of wood, of reasonable dimensions (not those over-sized snow shoes favoured by lawn tennis players), and with hand-made balls re-covered every week with new cloth. The ball can be given spin either by the player or by contact with the wall and the action of this spin can be even more deadly than Shane Warne. Reading the spin is an important part of the game; initially one is totally bewildered by the spin but soon one begins to judge where the ball will move after contact. More information on the game of real tennis: History of the game Real tennis has a long history. It was a favourite of many kings in the past, but is now enjoyed by people from all walks of life.
